                Last year's iPad Mini 3 wasn't much of an upgrade. And with only about 20 seconds of screen time at this year's iPhone 6s launch event, we weren't expecting much from the iPad Mini 4. Boy were we wrong. This is the iPad Mini you've been waiting for.

                The Apple iPad mini 4 is a top-notch small-screen tablet with unparalleled build quality and app support, but it's still hard to justify the jump in price over the iPad mini 2.
